Look Away Now

Look Away Now was a topical Radio 4 Sports Comedy I devised & produced working alongside Script Editor Laurence Howarth. Recorded each week in front of an audience it was presented by sports journalist Garry Richardson with a regular cast of Laurence, Dave “Come Dine With Me” Lamb & musician Richie Webb. We also brought Today FM’s Mario Rosenstock into the team as Jose Mourinho

We used Radio 5 Live’s commentary team to record sketches and featured comedians as spoof guests for Garry to interview on a weekly basis. Highlights included Alan Carr’s interview as the premiership’s first openly gay footballer and Felix Dexter’s takeover of Arsenal, via Nigeria

The show was developed for TV but was not picked up. It ran for four series on Radio 4
